Since ICDM2013, MoDAT is a workshop to discuss how to design the Market
of Data. In this market, data are reasonably dealt with - opened free, sold
for suitable prices, or exchanged/shared based on negotiation. In the
negotiation, people are expected to discuss use-scenarios of data until they
learn the value of data and feel free to share/exchange data with each other
without fearing loss of business opportunities. In MoDAT
workshops so far, participants discussed from aspects of data links,
data/text/Web mining, creative communication, etc. As a result, methods born
or bred in the MoDAT2013 and MoDAT2014 came to be applied for governmental
and industrial activities toward data driven innovations and educations. In the last MoDAT
workshop at ICDM2015, designing the environment for safe and secure human
life has been discussed with various supporting tools and methods that have
been proposed in terms of semantic analysis, promoting requirements
elicitation, estimating contextual relationships and so forth.

With reference of these past workshop outcomes,
we should make the Market of Data use of more effective and efficient shared
mechanism to function moving forward, i.e., not only within a certain area of
interest but also cross data domains, cross functions and cross applications
to emerge new opportunities integrating different applications. In future the
Market of Data shall be developed as a business infrastructure for various
stakeholders. For this purpose, this year we should focus on designing new
services in combination with unexpected customers, by
using/reusing/integrating data in the Market of Data.

Also we organized
relevant workshops so far, since year 2000. That are about data-driven
approaches to business strategies such as Chance discovery and Data Synthesis
(more than 30 international workshops and symposia, including ICDM 2010, AAAI
Springer Symposia 2001, IJCAI 2011, ECAI2004, ECAI2011, KES2000 till 2013)
Discovery, Decision, and Design (IEEE SMC 2005-2011), and other workshops
organized by the Technical Committee of Information Systems for Design and
Marketing: Ohsawa (the chair) has been and is the TC chair of Information
Systems for Design and Marketing, in SMC society of IEEE. If we count those
organized by any workshop members, the record will be too large to list here,
e.g., workshops on semantic web, linked open data, data based marketing, etc.,
where business people and data scientists meet.
